Cervelo Aspero-5 Frameset - Five Black - GM112624-02

Our engineers like to joke that, "if it looks fast, it probably is." But there’s some truth to that, and Áspero-5 looks fast standing still. No cables in the wind, tube shapes from our aerodynamically-proven library, and a hint of a cut out in the seat tube, all add up to a bike that proves the adage.

Features

• Lightweight Speed: Some might say aero doesn’t matter on a gravel bike, but if you’ve battled a headwind across an open prairie, the thirty-two grams of drag you’ll save with the Áspero-5 come as a welcome respite. Most gravel racing is done without the benefit of a World Tour peloton—or World Tour tactics—and when it’s your nose in the wind all day, it’s nice to know your bike’s shouldering a bit of the load.
  
• Two-Position Adjustment: Trail—front-wheel response to rider input—is the most critical factor in high-velocity handling. Flipping the two-position "Trail Mixer" to compensate for the difference in circumference between a 650b and 700c tire maintains consistent handling by maintaining consistent trail figures.
  
• Multiple Configurations: We designed Aspero to fit most 700c x 42mm or 650b x 49mm wheel/tire combinations. Of course, there are variables—rim width, tire casing, and tread depth—which will affect final clearance. We (and the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO), always recommend 4mm of clearance between the tire and frame.

Maintenance Tips

• Frame & Fork Care: Regularly inspect the frame and fork for any signs of damage or wear. Clean them using a soft cloth and mild detergent to maintain their integrity and appearance.

• Drivetrain Compatibility: Ensure that the bottom bracket is compatible with the BBright system. Also, check that the front derailleur is a braze-on type, as required by the frameset.

• Brake System Maintenance: Check the flat-mount disc brake mounts for cleanliness and alignment. Regularly inspect brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure the rotors are in good condition.

• Wheel Compatibility: Ensure that the wheels are 700c and that the front and rear axles are correctly fitted with 12 x 100mm and 12 x 142mm dimensions.

• Seatpost & Cockpit: Use the Cervélo SP24 carbon aero post. Ensure the Cervélo HB13 carbon handlebars and ST31 carbon stem are installed and tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications.

• Regular Inspections: Periodically check all components for tightness and wear. Ensure that all bolts are torqued to the recommended settings and that there are no loose or damaged parts.
